If you want written rules from immigration, you should go and get them from Chiang Mai Immigration yourself. I've given you my legitimate take as a reputable school owner, you're ignoring it. Impolitely asking/telling me to show you immigration's rules, whilst wrongly assuming that all their working rules are actually "written" for public access. Simple answer, do it yourself. You're too rude to bother dealing with any further. Hopefully others reading these comments can benefit from the information.

Chiang Mai Immigration has made it pretty clear to us in the past, it's also quite a well known fact amongst school owners/managers. We've successfully processed several hundred ED visas and DTVs over the last few years, both with Chiang Mai Immigration, and with several Thai embassies around the world, so quite a lot of experience to draw from. I appreciate you may have been given a piece of information, but this is something my school works with on a daily basis.

It's difficult because the letter does need to come from the school who provided the ED visa in order to properly cancel it. I often find that a polite visit in person usually gets the best results. Could someone go on your behalf?

School owner here 👋. An ED visa has to be registered as cancelled at immigration for it to be properly closed off, otherwise you may not be able to get another long term visa until it's done. Exiting Thailand without cancelling the ED visa will void it, it won't register as a cancellation. It's easy to cancel, the school just needs to write a cancellation letter for immigration, take the letter with your passport to immigration, and they'll cancel it for you. For what it's worth, we don't charge anything for the cancellation letter, nor should immigration, but many schools do. Good luck 👍
